in alfording her permanent relief, so that she can now

Deborab l^ee—By Fdzct Gukzy.
[Those who have read Poe'a "Annabel Lee." will
appreciate the (ul low ing purody. as exquisite in
kind os was the original of that gifted genius
whose lamp was so soon extinguished.]
'Tis a dozen or so of years ago,
Somewhere in the west eountree.
That a nice girl lived, as ye Hoosiers know,
By the name of Deborah Lee ;
Her sister was loved by Edgar Poe,
But Deborah by me.
Now I was green, and she WRS green,
As a sommet**'e pquash might be,
And we loyed as warmly as other folks,
I aud my Deborah Lee—
Witb a love that the lasses of Iloosiertlooui
Coveted her and me.
But somehow it happened long ago,
In tbe agueish West, coun tree,
That a chill March morning gave the shakes
To my beautiful Deborah Lee ;
And the grim -"team doctor (curse him) came
And bore her away frpin me —
The doctor and death, old partners they—
In tho ftg-ueiah couutiee.
The angels wanted ber up in Heaven,
(But they never asked for me,)
And that is the reason, J. father guess,
In the aguish West countree,
That the cold March wind and the doctor and death
Took off my Deborah Lee—
My beautiful Deborah Lee—
From the warm sunshine and the opening flower,
And took her away from me.
Our love was as strong as a six-horse team
Or the love of folks older than we,
And possibly wiser than we,
But, death, with the aid of doctor aud steam,
Was rather too many for me ;
He closed his peepers and silenced the breath
Of my sweetheart, Deborah Lee ;
And her form lies cold in the prairie mould.
Silent and cold—ah me !
Tbe foot of the hunter shall press her grave,
And the prairie's sweet wild flowers,
In tbeir odorous beauty around it wave,
Through all the sunny hours ;
The still, bright sunny hours ;
And birds shall sing in the tufted grass,
And tbe nectar-laden bee,
With bis dreary hum on his gauze wings pass—
She wakes no more to me ;
Ah ! never more to me !
Though the wild birds sing aud the wild flowers
She wakes no more to me. L-*pring.
Yet oft. in the hush of the dim, still nigbt,
A vision of beauty I see,
Gliding poft to my bedside—a phantom of light.
Dear, beautiful Deborah Lee—
My bride that was to be,
And I wake to mourn that tbo doctor and death
And the cold March wind, should stop tbe breath
Of my darling Deborah Lee—
Adorable Deborah Lee ;
Tbat angels should want her up in Heaven
Before they wanted me.'

Personal Appearance of Macaulay.—The Phi
ladelphia Press, in the course of its obituary notice of Macaulay, sayB :—
"Twenty-live years ago, he was one of the worst
looking men in the Huuse of Commons. Stature
rather below the middle height, figure bulky and
Iffl & rnp.--.fn I ; lafdauuB flool.jr. 0r,n<,---, „...i i™™
sive ; rough hair oi a sandy hue ; month firm and
well cut; large and remarkably lustrous eyes;
attire extremely careless. Such was Macaulay at
the age of thirty-five. His lace lighted up when
he spoke—particularly when he made oue ol his
Parliamentary orations, which, however, had the
fault—almost unpardonable by ai) English audi-
ce—of being carefully prepared beloiehand. and
committed to memory. His voice was between a
" :p and a burr, and utterance was thick and hnsky
for the first five minutes of delivery. Alter that
his voice sounded grandly and clearly, and a pin
could be heard dropping in the House of Commons while he was speaking.
"MacauIny's personal appearance greatly improved with advancing yeai's. He became slighter
iu figure—less pudgy, in fact; the deepened lines
of his face, marked by thought, added expre'-siou
to it : his sand-colored hair becoming nearly
while."
The Cltm-ncter of "Mixd-mlay.
The Londou News, in an elaborate obituary
notice of Macaulay, the essayist, makes these
remarks upon his character as a writer aud £
man :
As a talker his powers were perhaps unrivalled.
It was there that he showed what he could do
without the preparation whicb might, if it did
uot, ensure the splendor of his essays and his
oratory. At che dinner table he poured out his
marvellous eloquence with a rapidity equalled
only by that ofhis friend Ilalbnn's utterance. He
talked much, if at all ; aud thus it was found
that it did not answer very well to invite him
wilh Jeffrey aud Sidney Smith. Jeffrey could sit
silent fbr a moderate time with serenity. Sidney
Smith could uot wiihout annoyance. "Both had
had three years of full liberty (for they did not
inierlere with each other) during Macaulny'n absence ; but he eclipsed both on his return. After
some years, when his health and spirits were
declining, and his expectations began to merge in
consciousness of failure, he sometimes sat quiet
on such occai-ious, listening, or lost in thought,
as might happen. It was then that Sidney Smith
utienKl lns eel libra toft saying about hlaeuiiveiaa-
tioual rival: " Macaulay is improved. Yes, Macaulay is improved! I have observed in him ol
bite . . . flashes—of silence." Meantime, he was
the saving genius ofthe Edinburgh Review, then
otherwise likely to sink prone after the rctiriinent
of Jeffrey, and during the unpopularity ofthe
Whig Government, all ol whose acts it set itself
indiscriminately to uphold. Brougham, and his
brother William, Senior, and Macaulay, with some
underlings, wrote up every Whig act aud design,
and made a virtue and success of every fault and
failure j but it would not all have doue if'Macau-
UyVs magnificent articles, in a loug and rich
series, had not carried tbe Review everywhere,
and infuse some life into what was clearly an expiring organization. The splendid historical,
biographical and critical presentments of Macaulay were tbe most popular literature of the day :
and they raised to the highest pitch the popular
expectation from his history. A history of England by Macaulay was anticipated as the richest
cnnceivabli! treat; though some thoughtful, or
experienced, or hostile person here and there
threw out the remark that us his oratory was literature and bis literature oratory, hishistory would
probably be something else than history—most
likely epigrammatic criticism. There was some
further preparation for his failure as well as success as a historian after his article on Bacon in
the Edinburgh. That essay disabused the wisest
who expected services of the first order from Macaulay. Iu that article he not only betrayed his
incapacity for philosophy and- his radical ignorance of the subject he undertook to treat, but he
shamelessly helped himself to the very materials
which he was disparaging, aud gave as his own
large excerpts from Mr. Montagu, while loading
liim with contempt and rebuke. But those wlio
were best aware ot Maeaulay-s faults were carried
away by the delight of reading him. As an
artist, we are under deep obligations to him ; and
in his own walk of art—fresh and opeu to the
multitude-"—be was supremo. The mere style, for
cel'ul aod antithetical, becomes fatiguing from its
want o( repose, as well as mannerism ; but his
cumulative method of illustration is unrivaled,
It has been, is, and will be abundantly imitated.

Touciii.va GD188HS in Drinkixo,—A writer in
the Historical Magazine for November thus at-1
tempts to explain the origin of tbejhabit of touching glasses in drinking :
One branch of my ancestry was Scotch, aod
devoted adherents to Charles Stewart, Whiles
boy, my father possessed a heavy cut-andthrust*
basket-billed sword, which oue of the Richardson
family, my father's maternal ancestor, had used
at Culloden. Nrom him this tradition descended
tothe family as to touching glasses in drinking-
When, after the failure ofthe expedition of tho
so called Pretender, Prince Charles, in 1745, that
Prince crossed to France, his supporters were
beset with spies on every hand ; aud it frequently
happened that they were placed in situations
where thoy could not with safety refuse to respond
to the common toast—" The health ofthe King,"1
It was understood between the faithful, that when
the '* King" was drunk, it was " the king o'er the
water.-'aud to express this, symbolically, ona
glass was then passed over another. This, irt
time, was modified tothe silent touching ofthe
glasses. Iu.the lower part of South Carolina and
Virginia, generally settled with cavaliers, the
habit bas prevailed and spread wherever their
descendants have gone in the South and West. It
is the habit of men to-day, io drinking to touch
glasses invariably—but I have never known the*
but quite unsuccessfully; for this reason-thaUt | customi explained by any one else. You may
It is a remarkable fact, that nearly all the candidates for the Vice-Presidency at the Democratic
National Convention at Cincinnati in June, 1856,
have since paid the debt of nature. Linu Boyd of
Kentucky, J. C. Branch of North Carolina, Gen.
Quitman of Mississippi, Geu. Rusk of Texas, and
Aaron V. Brown of Tennessee, were presented ae
candidates by their respective States, and obtained
their support. They are now all dead !
The Treasury balance ia under $8,000,000, including the amount subject to draft aud reserved
for mint service, upou which advances arc made
by deposit of gold dust for coinage. Half this
sum is intended to meet the Post Oflice deficiency,
due last July, whenever Congress shall pass ithe
appropriation bill. The rest is required for the
six months ending December 31st.
"The New York correspondent of a Charleston
paper says rumor has it that a niece of Mayor
Wood is soon to be led to the hymeneal altar by
a Cuban millionaire.
The Philadelphia'Press has reason to believe
that G. P. E. James intends leaving Venice and
returning to his former office of British Consul at
Richmond, Va.
It is announced in the fashionable world tbat

Russian Embassador, will shortly wed Captain

It is stated that Lady Franklin will pay a visit
to New York within a few weeks, and that she will
be the guest of a leading citizen, distinguished
for bis philanthropic exertions in prosecuting the
search for Sir John Franklin.
The Washington correspondent of tho Boston
Atlas and Bee, in speaking of the ballotings for
Speaker, says—"I was amused with the story of
one of the Western members, who is, by the way,
one of the cleverest headed and largest hearted
men here. Said he, "I declare to you I have got
so used to shouting out'John Sherman,'when I
am spoken to, that when the waiter asked me this
morning what I would have for breakfast, I toJd
him 'John Sherman!' "
Fred. Douglass acknowledges since his arrival
in England, that he did know ol the Harper's Ferry plan, as undertaken by Brown, and approved
the original sell erne of running off the slaves and
establishing a rendezvous in the mountains.
Portrait of Schiller.—" A young artist," says
the Europe, "has just discovered at an antiquary's
in Basle, Switzerland, an interesting painting. It
is the portrait of Schiller, and on the back are the
words ' Schiller, Manhcim, 178G.' The portrait is
nearly life size, and is well executed."
When the Rev. Dr. Patton was in England, he
dined with several gentlemen who used a great
variety of arguments to make him give up his
cold water principles. "Now, here," said one,
"here. Doctor, is some good old luck ; surely you
can't decline this?" "Can't?'' replied the Doctor,
"wby. sir I learned to decline it when a boy ; hie.
hire, hoc." The table was in a roar, and the Doctor came off triumphantly.
requires Macaulay's eruditiou to support Mac* —
lay's cumulative method ; and men ot Macaulay's
erudition are uot likely to have his eclectic turn ;
and. if they had, won 111 make their own natL
niveau oi loiiowmg at his heels. In 1842 Be published his "Lays of Ancient Rome," very charming, but eclectic with a vengeance. He was no
poet, it was clear, though ho bad given us a book
delighttul to the unlearned. Iu 18-17 he was excluded from Parliament by his rejection at Edinburgh—on account merely a theological quarrel
of the time. Tlie citizens compcns'Ued this slight
as far as they could, by promoting his electiou to
such Scotch honors as could be conferred upon
him—such as being chosen Lord Rector of Glasgow University, and on the death of Professor
Wilson, in 1854. President of the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution. He was sorely missed in ,
the House, though his speaking had become infrequent. When, at length, he returned with new
literary honors accumulated ou him, the eagerness
to hear him showed what the privation hail been.
From the courts, the refreshment rooms, the committee-rooms—from every corner lo whieh the
newscould spread that Macaulay was"up,"the
rush was as if for a matter of life or death.
Meantime, while bewas in this parliamentary and
official abeyance, be brought out what were called
the first volumes of his history; neither he nor
any one else having any doubt that the rest, up
tothe reign of George III., would follow regularly and speedily. The beauty of the book exceeded expectation ; and its popularity was such
as no book had met witb since the days of tbe
Wavcrly novels ; and with regard to some characteristics and some portions of the book, the first
enthusiastic judgment will stand. His portrait
of William III., and the portions which way be
called tbe historical romance of the work, will be
read with delight by successive generations. But
the sober decision already awarded by time is that
the work is not a history ; and that it ought
never to have been so called while tbe characters
of real men were treated with so little regard to
truth. Of praise and profit Macaulay had his fill,
immediately and tumultuously ; and openly and
heartily he enjoyed it. But the critical impeach*
merits whicli followed must have keenly annoyed
him, as they would any man who cared for his
honor, as a relator of facts and a reporter and
judge of the characters of dead and defenceless
meu. Failing health added its dissuasive to industry. He became subject to bronchitis to a
degree which rendered his achievements and his
motives uncertain. He was once more elected

■•■mil':' co tne llutise that the rush to hear hi in w;i>
so remarkable a spectacle. He spoke seldom, and
men felt that tbeir opportunities would henceforth be few. Before his retirement from tho
House of Commons in 1856, he was the mere
wreck of his former self. His eye was deep-sunk
and often dim ; bis full face was wrinkled and
haggard ; his fatigue in utterance was obviously
very great, and tbe tremulousness of limb and
feature melancholy to behold. In 1857 he was
raised to the peerage, a graceful compliment to
literature. Macaulay's was mainly an intellectual
life, brilliant and stimulating, but cold and barren
as regards tho highest part of human nature. As
in his history there is but one touch of tenderness
—Henrietta Wentworth's name carved upon tbe
tree—so in his brilliant and varied display of
power in his life, the one thing wanting is heart.
Probably the single touch of sensibility was in
him, and we should find some bleeding gashes, or
some scars in the stiff bark, if we were at liberty
to Bearch ; but hard and rugged it was, while
throwing out its prolussion of dancing foliage
and many-tinted blossoms. It was a magnificent
growth; aud we may accept its leauty very thank-
fullv. though we know it is only fit for ornament,
andnot to yield Bweet solace at present, nor
perennial use. If we cannot have the man of
soul, heroic or other, nor the man of genius as
slatrsman or poet, let ns take bim as the eloquent
scholar, and be thankful.

Deborab l^ee—By Fdzct Gukzy.
[Those who have read Poe'a "Annabel Lee." will
appreciate the (ul low ing purody. as exquisite in
kind os was the original of that gifted genius
whose lamp was so soon extinguished.]
'Tis a dozen or so of years ago,
Somewhere in the west eountree.
That a nice girl lived, as ye Hoosiers know,
By the name of Deborah Lee ;
Her sister was loved by Edgar Poe,
But Deborah by me.
Now I was green, and she WRS green,
As a sommet**'e pquash might be,
And we loyed as warmly as other folks,
I aud my Deborah Lee—
Witb a love that the lasses of Iloosiertlooui
Coveted her and me.
But somehow it happened long ago,
In tbe agueish West, coun tree,
That a chill March morning gave the shakes
To my beautiful Deborah Lee ;
And the grim -"team doctor (curse him) came
And bore her away frpin me —
The doctor and death, old partners they—
In tho ftg-ueiah couutiee.
The angels wanted ber up in Heaven,
(But they never asked for me,)
And that is the reason, J. father guess,
In the aguish West countree,
That the cold March wind and the doctor and death
Took off my Deborah Lee—
My beautiful Deborah Lee—
From the warm sunshine and the opening flower,
And took her away from me.
Our love was as strong as a six-horse team
Or the love of folks older than we,
And possibly wiser than we,
But, death, with the aid of doctor aud steam,
Was rather too many for me ;
He closed his peepers and silenced the breath
Of my sweetheart, Deborah Lee ;
And her form lies cold in the prairie mould.
Silent and cold—ah me !
Tbe foot of the hunter shall press her grave,
And the prairie's sweet wild flowers,
In tbeir odorous beauty around it wave,
Through all the sunny hours ;
The still, bright sunny hours ;
And birds shall sing in the tufted grass,
And tbe nectar-laden bee,
With bis dreary hum on his gauze wings pass—
She wakes no more to me ;
Ah ! never more to me !
Though the wild birds sing aud the wild flowers
She wakes no more to me. L-*pring.
Yet oft. in the hush of the dim, still nigbt,
A vision of beauty I see,
Gliding poft to my bedside—a phantom of light.
Dear, beautiful Deborah Lee—
My bride that was to be,
And I wake to mourn that tbo doctor and death
And the cold March wind, should stop tbe breath
Of my darling Deborah Lee—
Adorable Deborah Lee ;
Tbat angels should want her up in Heaven
Before they wanted me.'

Touciii.va GD188HS in Drinkixo,—A writer in
the Historical Magazine for November thus at-1
tempts to explain the origin of tbejhabit of touching glasses in drinking :
One branch of my ancestry was Scotch, aod
devoted adherents to Charles Stewart, Whiles
boy, my father possessed a heavy cut-andthrust*
basket-billed sword, which oue of the Richardson
family, my father's maternal ancestor, had used
at Culloden. Nrom him this tradition descended
tothe family as to touching glasses in drinking-
When, after the failure ofthe expedition of tho
so called Pretender, Prince Charles, in 1745, that
Prince crossed to France, his supporters were
beset with spies on every hand ; aud it frequently
happened that they were placed in situations
where thoy could not with safety refuse to respond
to the common toast—" The health ofthe King,"1
It was understood between the faithful, that when
the '* King" was drunk, it was " the king o'er the
water.-'aud to express this, symbolically, ona
glass was then passed over another. This, irt
time, was modified tothe silent touching ofthe
glasses. Iu.the lower part of South Carolina and
Virginia, generally settled with cavaliers, the
habit bas prevailed and spread wherever their
descendants have gone in the South and West. It
is the habit of men to-day, io drinking to touch
glasses invariably—but I have never known the*
but quite unsuccessfully; for this reason-thaUt | customi explained by any one else. You may
It is a remarkable fact, that nearly all the candidates for the Vice-Presidency at the Democratic
National Convention at Cincinnati in June, 1856,
have since paid the debt of nature. Linu Boyd of
Kentucky, J. C. Branch of North Carolina, Gen.
Quitman of Mississippi, Geu. Rusk of Texas, and
Aaron V. Brown of Tennessee, were presented ae
candidates by their respective States, and obtained
their support. They are now all dead !
The Treasury balance ia under $8,000,000, including the amount subject to draft aud reserved
for mint service, upou which advances arc made
by deposit of gold dust for coinage. Half this
sum is intended to meet the Post Oflice deficiency,
due last July, whenever Congress shall pass ithe
appropriation bill. The rest is required for the
six months ending December 31st.
"The New York correspondent of a Charleston
paper says rumor has it that a niece of Mayor
Wood is soon to be led to the hymeneal altar by
a Cuban millionaire.
The Philadelphia'Press has reason to believe
that G. P. E. James intends leaving Venice and
returning to his former office of British Consul at
Richmond, Va.
It is announced in the fashionable world tbat

Russian Embassador, will shortly wed Captain

It is stated that Lady Franklin will pay a visit
to New York within a few weeks, and that she will
be the guest of a leading citizen, distinguished
for bis philanthropic exertions in prosecuting the
search for Sir John Franklin.
The Washington correspondent of tho Boston
Atlas and Bee, in speaking of the ballotings for
Speaker, says—"I was amused with the story of
one of the Western members, who is, by the way,
one of the cleverest headed and largest hearted
men here. Said he, "I declare to you I have got
so used to shouting out'John Sherman,'when I
am spoken to, that when the waiter asked me this
morning what I would have for breakfast, I toJd
him 'John Sherman!' "
Fred. Douglass acknowledges since his arrival
in England, that he did know ol the Harper's Ferry plan, as undertaken by Brown, and approved
the original sell erne of running off the slaves and
establishing a rendezvous in the mountains.
Portrait of Schiller.—" A young artist," says
the Europe, "has just discovered at an antiquary's
in Basle, Switzerland, an interesting painting. It
is the portrait of Schiller, and on the back are the
words ' Schiller, Manhcim, 178G.' The portrait is
nearly life size, and is well executed."
When the Rev. Dr. Patton was in England, he
dined with several gentlemen who used a great
variety of arguments to make him give up his
cold water principles. "Now, here," said one,
"here. Doctor, is some good old luck ; surely you
can't decline this?" "Can't?'' replied the Doctor,
"wby. sir I learned to decline it when a boy ; hie.
hire, hoc." The table was in a roar, and the Doctor came off triumphantly.
requires Macaulay's eruditiou to support Mac* —
lay's cumulative method ; and men ot Macaulay's
erudition are uot likely to have his eclectic turn ;
and. if they had, won 111 make their own natL
niveau oi loiiowmg at his heels. In 1842 Be published his "Lays of Ancient Rome," very charming, but eclectic with a vengeance. He was no
poet, it was clear, though ho bad given us a book
delighttul to the unlearned. Iu 18-17 he was excluded from Parliament by his rejection at Edinburgh—on account merely a theological quarrel
of the time. Tlie citizens compcns'Ued this slight
as far as they could, by promoting his electiou to
such Scotch honors as could be conferred upon
him—such as being chosen Lord Rector of Glasgow University, and on the death of Professor
Wilson, in 1854. President of the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution. He was sorely missed in ,
the House, though his speaking had become infrequent. When, at length, he returned with new
literary honors accumulated ou him, the eagerness
to hear him showed what the privation hail been.
From the courts, the refreshment rooms, the committee-rooms—from every corner lo whieh the
newscould spread that Macaulay was"up,"the
rush was as if for a matter of life or death.
Meantime, while bewas in this parliamentary and
official abeyance, be brought out what were called
the first volumes of his history; neither he nor
any one else having any doubt that the rest, up
tothe reign of George III., would follow regularly and speedily. The beauty of the book exceeded expectation ; and its popularity was such
as no book had met witb since the days of tbe
Wavcrly novels ; and with regard to some characteristics and some portions of the book, the first
enthusiastic judgment will stand. His portrait
of William III., and the portions which way be
called tbe historical romance of the work, will be
read with delight by successive generations. But
the sober decision already awarded by time is that
the work is not a history ; and that it ought
never to have been so called while tbe characters
of real men were treated with so little regard to
truth. Of praise and profit Macaulay had his fill,
immediately and tumultuously ; and openly and
heartily he enjoyed it. But the critical impeach*
merits whicli followed must have keenly annoyed
him, as they would any man who cared for his
honor, as a relator of facts and a reporter and
judge of the characters of dead and defenceless
meu. Failing health added its dissuasive to industry. He became subject to bronchitis to a
degree which rendered his achievements and his
motives uncertain. He was once more elected

■•■mil':' co tne llutise that the rush to hear hi in w;i>
so remarkable a spectacle. He spoke seldom, and
men felt that tbeir opportunities would henceforth be few. Before his retirement from tho
House of Commons in 1856, he was the mere
wreck of his former self. His eye was deep-sunk
and often dim ; bis full face was wrinkled and
haggard ; his fatigue in utterance was obviously
very great, and tbe tremulousness of limb and
feature melancholy to behold. In 1857 he was
raised to the peerage, a graceful compliment to
literature. Macaulay's was mainly an intellectual
life, brilliant and stimulating, but cold and barren
as regards tho highest part of human nature. As
in his history there is but one touch of tenderness
—Henrietta Wentworth's name carved upon tbe
tree—so in his brilliant and varied display of
power in his life, the one thing wanting is heart.
Probably the single touch of sensibility was in
him, and we should find some bleeding gashes, or
some scars in the stiff bark, if we were at liberty
to Bearch ; but hard and rugged it was, while
throwing out its prolussion of dancing foliage
and many-tinted blossoms. It was a magnificent
growth; aud we may accept its leauty very thank-
fullv. though we know it is only fit for ornament,
andnot to yield Bweet solace at present, nor
perennial use. If we cannot have the man of
